Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders in which it takes a long time from the blood to clot properly. There is also different types of hemophilia. They are hemophilia A/classic hemophilia, hemophilia B, and hemophilia C. Hemophilia A is a person that is completely missing or low levels of factor 8. Most people have Hemophilia A the scientist say its 80% more people. Hemophilia B is completely missing or low levels of factor 9. There are very few people that have this type of Hemophilia scientist say its 20% of the people with Hemophilia. Hemophilia B was once called Christmas Disease. Hemophilia C is completely missing or low levels of factor 11. Hemophilia C is 10 times more rare then type A.
Hemophilia is an "X linked" or "sex linked" inherited disorder which means that the defect is carried on the X chromosome. it is located on the X chromosome. Symptoms of hemophilia: Bleeding into the muscles, giving the human a bruise after getting a vitamin K shot. A lot of bleeding after a male baby is bleeding. A lot of bleeding after an umbilical cut at birth of the child. Bleeding of muscle that causes swelling and pain. Abnormal bleeding after an injury. Very easy at bruising. Nose bleeding. Blood in urine. Bleeding after dental work. This the normal day for people with hemophilia. If you have hemophilia, your day-to-day life is probably pretty normal. Exercise is important for teens with hemophilia because it makes muscles stronger, which protects the joints and decreases bleeds. Swimming and cycling are great because they don't put pressure on the joints. In fact, you can participate in just about any sport, although team sports, such as soccer, basketball, or baseball, present a higher risk and all contact sports (like football, boxing, lacrosse, and hockey) are off-limits because there's a high risk of injury. Hemophilia can range from mild to severe.
One of the main treatments are to trade or replace the clotting factor whichis calle replacement therapy. The other ways are: Desmopressin, antibrinolytic medicines, and gene therapy. Desmopressin is a man-made hormone used to treat people that have mild hemophilia A but can't be used to treat hemophilia B. Antibrinolytic medicines may be used with the replacement therapy. Gene therapy hasn't yet developed to the point that it's an accepted treatment. Incidence rates of hemophilia: Approx. 1 of 680,000 or 400 people in the US get hemophilia. Incidence of annual of hemophilia: about 400 babies born with hemophilia. Incidence extrapolations for USA for hemophilia: 399 per year, 33 per month, 7 per week, 1 per day, 0 per hour, 0 per minute, and 0 per second.
Questions:
1. Explain what a day is for people with hemophilia.
2. What are the types of hemophilia?
3. Explain one type of hemophilia.
